I run after Tweek, Kenny and Karen as they go to the broken gate. Kenny grabs her shotgun from a gun rack on a wall and Tweek pulls his fire axe from behind his back. Karen already has her bow and an arrow in her hands.

Before we can even leave the building, we hear gunshots and zombie moaning.

"They're already in the building, s-shit!" Tweek curses.

"How can you tell? We can't see any." I frown.

"Because we only shoot if they're in the building to save b-bullets and prevent making noise, duh." Tweek rolls his eyes.

Right as he finishes his sentence, a scraggly four legged creature skids around a corner. It stops, momentarily, before screeching loudly and running towards us.

"Fuck, it's a Feral!" Kenny grabs Karen's hand and takes off running in the other direction. Tweek follows without hesitation, "Craig, follow us. It isn't safe!"

Without questioning her, I run after them too. I can hear the Feral getting closer to us with every slap of its feet against the tiled floor. My heart pounds in my chest as I try and keep up with the rest of the group and not get torn apart by whatever mutated creature that thing is.

I'm pulled by the arm and I almost fall over due to the force. I realise it was Kenny pulling me into the closest room where they're hiding. I kick the door shut and Karen turns the lock.

"Stay away from the door. It'll see you." She tells me.

I step away from the door and try to control my breathing so I don't alert the monster outside.

We hear the slap of its feet as it runs across the tiled floor and luckily it passes our room. We all breathe a sigh of relief when we realise we are safe - for now.

"What was that thing?" I finally ask.

"A feral. They're a strange mutation where it's just like a rabid animal. It always runs on four legs and it's really hard to attack," Kenny explains, "if you see one the best thing to do is hide and attack from higher ground where it can't get to you."

Suddenly, we hear gunshots nearby. Loud, rapid gunfire that sounds like it could be from multiple people, followed by the sound of bodies hitting the floor.

"We need to get back out there," Tweek adjusts his grip on his axe and opens the door. He checks the coast is clear and signals for us to follow him, "we need to get to the first floor. Stan, Kyle and Wendyl will be fine here on their own."

"What about the feral? It could still be out here." Karen asks in a wobbly voice.

"You'll be fine, princess," Kenny strokes Karen's hair, "if we see it then that means you're facing your fears. And facing your fears means..?"

"I'm one step closer to becoming the ultimate badass." Karen finishes with a nod.

"That's my girl," Kenny grins, ruffling her hair, "c'mon, let's go."

The older two lead us to a staircase that's covered in blood. And it looks fresh.

"That doesn't look good." I frown.

"We don't have time to be making fucking observations, dick-nose!" Tweek yells.

He runs up the stairs without checking we're going after him. Kenny gives me a sympathetic look before taking Karen's hand and following Tweek. I sigh and go after them.

The second floor is crawling with zombies. It seems like they decided to come and meet us. There's a screamer which is doing its job irritatingly well, two bloaters and around ten plague zombies all mixed in with standard ones.
